My craft desk was bereft of my lovely pussy cat yesterday ... she had been missing for a couple of days. We leafletted the street asking people to look in their sheds for her .. .and a lovely man did and found her.
So here she is this morning, helping me out ... well sort of helping!!
I konw Christmas has just been and gone, but Pops has the idea to start making Christmas cards again, so we now have a FB group called Sunday for Santa ... and this week's challegne is All that Sparkles ... lots of glitter!
I combined the challegne with this week's LOTV challenge as I just LOVE James ... I think I might have overdone the gold glamour dust!!! I coloured him with my copics and glazed the baubles. The corners were created using my Mairanne Creatible die, ad the dp is Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses .. I bought it 2 Christmases ago and really haven't got into using it!
The card fits these challenges:
Lili of the Valley - sketch
Cute card Thursday - old stash
Onto my 2nd card ... by now Miffy was ensconced on my chair so I had to colour standing up!!
A friend asked me to make a card for his fiancee ... I don't do engagement and wedding cards overly well ... not really got the right images. But this ickle mouse seemed to fit as he is throwing petals around (loves me ... loves me not!!!) I coloured it using my copics and promarkers and again used some very neglected dp - Basic Grey Koishi ... didn't get into this one either, far to busy for me I think!! I added some lilac ribbon and a bow ... no flowers as the papers really don't need anything more. And no sentiment .. not sure what he wants to put on it!
And challenges ... (I am counting engagement as a New Beginning)
Simon Says Stamp - New beginnings
Creative Card Crew - New beginings
Trully Scrumptious - sketch + dreaming of summer (image and papers are summery)
House Mouse and friends - New beginnings
Cute Card Thursday - old stash - papers
